Distribution Upgrade
Version 9.4.3 will be the final version that supports Ubuntu Xenial as the operating system distribution. In all future releases, Ubuntu Bionic will be required. To support this distribution upgrade, 9.4.3 will support both Ubuntu Xenial and Ubuntu Bionic. Before upgrading to any future version, appliances on Ubuntu Xenial must be upgraded to Ubuntu Bionic while running version 9.4.3. The upgrade of the distribution will require a reboot and may take up to an hour to complete.
You can check the distribution in use by an appliance in the Appliance Status view of the portal. The "Base Distribution" listed should be "bionic". If it is "xenial", the appliance distribution needs to be upgraded.
For help on the upgrade process, please refer to the following instructions. This update is not done automatically to prevent unexpected downtime.
